The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #3 by Dan!

A very nice, very light week arrives at your local comic shop this week, just in time for the schools to be back in session!  Don’t worry, I’ve got an opinion on a fair amount of them.  Also, I’m watching the movie Seven while I write this, so that should lead to an interesting state of mind.  Let’s do this! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Buzzard #3 Writer/Artist: Eric Powell Just a reminder for all of you, Eric Powell is one of (if not The) best writer/artist combinations out in the market today.  If you’re looking for consistently … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #2 by Dan!

So here’s your second dose of my opinion of old stuff.  Yes, this stuff is much much older than I am, but on the internet, everyone gets an opinion! Iron Man #5 from 1968 I never get tired of Stan Lee.  Though this issue is written by Archie Goodwin, the effects of Lee’s editing run heavily throughout.  This issue is especially interesting because it supposedly takes place in a seperate reality, and by the end of it, Tony Stark is right back where he started.  So what does that mean?  Iron Man #5 didn’t even remotely worry about continuity or … Continue reading

The Latest and (Mostly) Greatest #2 by Dan!

After some much needed post-San Diego Comic-Con rest, I’m back for a HUGE week of comics.  Lots to talk about, and plenty to say, so here we go! My Top Five (The Five Best Comics of the Week) Time Lincoln: Fists of Fuhrer #1 Writer/Artist: Fred Perry I cannot stress this enough: Time Lincoln is awesome.  If you have any problems with Abraham Lincoln firing a laser gun at winged nazis to help get Ben Franklin to save Albert Einstein, then we can’t be friends.  To think that this is one guy doing all the work (both story and art) is … Continue reading

Stuff That Was Awesome #2

So even with a light week, there’s still plenty of stuff worth reading, and I’m here to tell you what it is! Flash #3 Writer: Geoff Johns Artist: Francis Manapul Oh man.  This Flash series has been some of the best stuff that I’ve read lately.  Very interesting ideas, new characters, and plenty of potential.  I’m not a very big fan of Manapul, but he is really cranking out his best material on this book.  Johns writes it as well as he can, and it’s clear he really enjoys it.  Even Eddie liked this, so I must be right! Secret … Continue reading
